Best Autocentres Group has announced the addition of two respected independent garages, Didcot Tyre & Exhaust in Oxfordshire and Alltecnique in Old Sarum near Salisbury, to its growing network across the South of England.
Both businesses will continue to trade under their existing names, retain their experienced local teams, and operate from their current locations. Customers can expect the same trusted technicians and services, supported by new investment, improved systems, and enhanced customer experience.
The acquisitions form part of Best Autocentres’ wider regional growth strategy, focused on supporting well-run independent garages while preserving their local identity, reputation, and community ties.
Marc Ainslie, Chief Operating Officer at Best Autocentres Group, said: “Didcot Tyre & Exhaust and Alltecnique have both built strong local relationships through quality work and honest service. Our strategy is to strengthen garages like these, not change what makes them successful. By investing in people, equipment, and technology, we help local teams deliver an even higher standard of service.”
